145 PM EDT SAT APR 3 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT OVER THE MIDWEST WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION THIS
AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO THE
REGION OVERNIGHT AND THEN MOVE EAST ON SUNDAY. ANOTHER WEAK COLD
FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA ON MONDAY. A WARM FRONT WILL DEVELOP
ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES BY TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
WIND ADVISORY OUT FOR MOST OF THE AREA FOR JUST THE REMAINDER OF
THE AFTERNOON. NARROW BAND OF HIGHER WINDS IN AREA OF BETTER
MIXING/THINNER CLOUD COVER...ALLOWING WINDS TO GUST AROUND 50
MPH. SHOWERS THREAT PRIMARILY NW OHIO AND THUNDERSTORM THREAT HAS
ENDED. THE MAIN JET ENERGY SHOULD DIRECT THE MAIN AREAS OF
SHOWERS NORTHWEST ACROSS MICHIGAN AND ACROSS SOUTHERN OHIO.
TEMPERATURES DROPPING BEHIND THE FRONT.

THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THE EVENING
FOR EXTREME NORTHEAST OHIO INTO NW PA. WINDS AND RH MAY BRIEFLY
REACH CRITERIA THIS AFTERNOON BUT BELIEVE A QUICK SPREAD OF FIRE
IS NOT LIKELY. THANKS FOR THE COORDINATION FROM CTP AND PBZ.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
SOME SHOWERS WILL LINGER IN THE EAST THIS EVENING AND THEN IT WILL
BE DRY AS A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BUILDS IN QUICKLY. WENT A LITTLE
COOLER THAN THE NAM AND GFS MOS GUIDANCE. SOME CLOUDS WILL LINGER.

SUNDAY THE HIGH WILL MOVE EAST. HUMIDITY WILL BE ABOVE THE
CRITERIA FOR A FIRE WEATHER WATCH AND THE WINDS WILL PROBABLY EXCEED
THE CRITERIA IN THE WEST. NO HEADLINE AT THIS TIME.

A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL AFFECT THE AREA MONDAY AND A WARM FRONT
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH
THE BROAD PICTURE BUT SOME DIFFERENCES IN THE DETAILS. AT THIS
TIME KEPT THE POPS CHANCEY. AS THE WARM FRONT MOVES NORTH TUESDAY
WE SHOULD BE IN THE WARM AND DRY SECTOR AND RAISED THE HIGHS.
OTHERWISE USED A COMBINATION OF GRIDDED MOS AND THE OTHER MOS
GUIDANCE TO COME OUT WITH THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
LATEST EUROPEAN CAME IN AND LITTLE CHANGE BETWEEN RUNS. GFS AND
EUROPEAN ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH TRACK OF LOW ACROSS THE WEST CENTRAL
GREAT LAKES REGION. DRY SLOW WRAPS UP INTO THE LOW BY WEDNESDAY AND
COLD FRONT SWEEPS EAST ACROSS THE AREA EARLY IN THE DAY. POSSIBILITY
THAT HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL OCCUR IN THE MORNING WITH COOLER
TEMPERATURES IN THE AFTERNOON.  HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE IF MODELS START
TRENDING TOWARD A LATER ARRIVAL TIME OF THE FRONT. BASED ON THAT
WILL KEEP MAX TEMPERATURES IN THE AFTERNOON. I WILL KEEP MENTION OF
THUNDER AND SHOWER ACTIVITY GOING WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER THE
AREA ON WEDNESDAY.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY
BRINGING A RETURN TO FAIR WEATHER. SOME COLD AIR ADVECTION CONTINUES
ON TUESDAY BUT WE START TO SEE A RETURN SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW DEVELOP
BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL NOT BE AS INTENSE AS
THE LAST COUPLE DAYS. ANOTHER WEAK COLD FRONT WILL SLIDE EAST ACROSS
THE REGION FRIDAY. TEMPERATURES THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WILL BE BACK TO

DIMINISHING WITH THE FRONTS PASSAGE AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN
OVERNIGHT. POSSIBLE MVFR IN SHOWERS NW OHIO OTHERWISE VFR...WITH
CLEARING TONIGHT.

.OUTLOOK...NON VFR POSSIBLE MONDAY AND TUESDAY IN CONVECTIVE
SHRA AND AGAIN WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL NEED TO BE HOISTED LATER THIS AFTERNOON
ON LAKE ERIE AS WINDS INCREASE BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. SMALL CRAFT
WILL BE THE RESULT OF THE WINDS AND NOT SO MUCH DUE TO THE WAVES DUE
TO THE FLOW BEING FROM LAND TO THE WATER.

WINDS IN THE OPEN WATERS EXPECTED TO BE AROUND 30 KNOTS AFTER
FRONTAL PASSAGE THIS AFTERNOON AND SHOULD REMAIN BELOW GALES.

WINDS DIMINISH FAIRLY RAPIDLY LATER TONIGHT AND GO NEARLY LIGHT AND
VARIABLE THROUGH MONDAY. AN INCREASE IS EXPECTED AGAIN TUESDAY AS
SOUTHWEST FLOW DEVELOPS ONCE AGAIN. THIS SHOULD CONTINUE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT WHEN THE LOW PASSES OFF TO THE NORTHEAST AND WINDS START TO
DIMINISH.
